Starting with focus, the momstown team headed out to Fern Resort's archery area to take aim at our targets! This was a great interactive and hands on activity and had me thinking about what I was going to picture on the target as I lined up my bow and arrow and took aim. One of the most challenging things about being an entrepreneur, in my opinion, is trying to keep focus. Entrepreneurs have to be a 'jack of all trades' and while that is sometimes part of the excitement, it can derail businesses who lack focus.
Next up we had the pleasure of working with Jen Bodenham, owner of career & life Coaching business Gleaming and Dreaming. Jen took us through lots of thought provoking work and at the end of our session, each momstown team member had compiled a list of core desired feelings (based on Danielle Laporte's Desire Map).
I'll be honest, this was the third National momstown conference I have attended and this one was by far the hardest! We really drilled down into some tough topics and forced ourselves to focus and admit what we were feeling. The result? A renewed sense of commitment, motivation to stay focused and execute our plans and work towards the brave goal to 'stand in your own truth'.
Among the hard work though, were the things I like very best at our National conferences. Tons of idea sharing (we had best practices presentations which were incredibly helpful), creation of more programs for momstown members and time to leverage the amazing resources we have - our team members and our momstown leadership team. And of course some fun and goodies thrown in there too! Many thanks not only to Fern Resort, but to our other awesome conference sponsors as well.

The process to honour my core desired feelings has been a bit slow, but things are starting to move full steam ahead and I couldn't be more ready or more excited. As always, the momstown National conference was full of key learnings and time well spent focusing on my business and its success. I am so grateful to have a team of inspiring business owners who are on this journey with me. Whatever you are working towards in your life and in your career, keep pushing and don't stop before the miracle happens!
